A desperate anime

I don’t think it will be as good as Cyberpunk but it’s not like they are just cashing in on the name and giving a bad product. The first 3 episodes are solid.

I'm enjoying the show so far. I like how the anime doesn't take itself seriously by making jokes about the isekai genre. I'm excited for the next episodes.

"level of Cyberpunk"
I mean Cyberpunk was an 8 out of 10 and this is so far a 7 out of 10. It's not that far.

Exactly what I said by it, many did like cyberpunk because of its depressed outlook and the game being unique in itself
Meanwhile DC is trying the same diversity inclusion formula in the anime while trying to show it as a cutesy gore type isekai to remove our minds from it and from their disastrous Hollywood titles
Noone will admit this but it's the exact reason why Hollywood titles like this will still have a hard time competing with actual action animes that are popular

Ngl I didn't get the general point of this, I completely agree with the first part though. This series feels like it's made for anime fans who don't know much about DC, not like something any DC fans would watch and enjoy unless they were as even anime as they are into DC.

Kinda unfortunate, was hoping for it to be more of a split (as someone who likes and knows a lot about both)

Discord people seems to agree with you OP

Cyberpunk edgerunners wasn't even that good, it was an 8/10 before episode 6, but fell off completely after that, 6/10 at best,

Haven't watched this, still wondering if I should go for dub or sub, so will not comment on its quality, but is being inclusive bad? Anime has had those stuff way before, there were stuff like Ranma, and many other like it, there's been traps and tomboys, even Pokémon has had those since long before, plus there is so much gay shit, as long as it's not forced stuff, trying to be woke for no reason

I’m mean Idc if it’s a cash grab, the first 3 episodes were fire ngl

Phantom_373 said:
@Koyorides_ Wait I had no clue Mori was singing the ed, that's cool af

Phantom_373 said:
@Koyorides_ Yeah I agree, But I mean tbh I just generally prefer normal music over rap

Koyorides_ said:

Because they subscribe to the anime formula, similar to CP edgerunners with their loli character that even the game developers didn't know want
Look at how they fall when they slowly creep in the failed Hollywood formula into this anime making it another soulless cashgrab (Just look at the ED and you will understand me,no offense to mori but she's more suitable for singing than rap and a black woman behaving like an arrogant individual that is so strong nobody can touch her which was just like the movies)
If you want more you can just ask me

This anime is a reference and adaptation of DC characters. Harley Quinn, Peacemaker, Joker and Deadshot are the best, they surely will be able to come back home and find out more details about the bombs they have on the back of their neck from that queen and Fione.

Joker is the worst villain, that is an ultimate truth, but Amanda Waller has planned everything.

ktg said:

Bad example, the OP and the ED are the only parts that look like actually Wit did it. The episodes themselves look more like a side project or outsource project.

Koyorides_ said:

The op is fine,the ED is definitely a inclusive problem that's been happening in the DC HQ rn

logopolis said:
Do you people complaining about "diversity" realise that the average anime has no white people in it at all?

American comics are complete crap, but more diversity can make them a little less crap.

Koyorides_ said:

I think it relies on some parts of their suicide squad movie as well

Koyorides_ said:
Unlike cyberpunk edgerunners I feel like this anime is just made for people who are atleast interested in anime to get into the DC universe and invest more in them and we all know the reason why
Marvel and DC both have been having terrible titles and diversity messages for years now which dragged their stories to dirt so seeing this anime is a very fresh perspective and I like the japanese voice actors as well in this
But this is what it sounds like in the title,a desperate cashgrab with certain inclusions that I cannot name here that will probably keep this anime from reaching the levels of cyberpunk.
In the end I just don't want anime to be as stale as Hollywood rn just pushing "The message" or the brand for that matter

ktg said:

List every aspect of the story that was unpredictable.
There's none.
So how exactly an easily predictable show can be better than 8? It can't.

We don't care about your childish bias here.

DarthRizzer said:

yall so hypochlorite, I wonder what you've rated as 9 and 10 lmao

ktg said:

"Hypochlorite is an ion composed of chlorine and oxygen with the chemical formula ClO-"
To answer your question. I gave 9 or 10 to shows that are better and more complex than Cyberpunk which is an 8 out of 10.
If we are talking about, for example, 2022 when Cyberpunk aired, then Yofukashi no Uta, Summertime Render or Bocchi the Rock are easily better than Cyberpunk. And I didn't even list everything that was better, these are the most obvious, less questionable ones.

ktg said:

You know the Cyberpunk was only big in the west, right? In Japan it wasn't big. And even in the west, the game was the only reason behind its hype. In reality there are so many better anime out there.

As for your criticism, it is hard to attack an anime on a diversity and inclusion basis when anime had diverse characters while in the west people still thought that homosexuality was a mental illness.
Also, Suicide squad is one of the few titles that easily works with diverse characters, because it's actually about social outcasts. That's the whole point.

I thinks you just overthinking it & take the ED too seriously,its made for laughs,just look at all their meme worthy funny faces & poses

I dont know if you familiar with Amanda Waller,that is her defining characterisation on all media she featured in also incharacter for her as she always on antagonize role.

cyberpunk felt desperate
this one doesn't feel anything bad. this one is just unexpected

ktg said:

No, it has zero problems. It tries to be a comedy like the whole show actually with their jokes. That's all.

SoulessAnime said:

oh it absolutely does, that's another reason I think DC fans won't like it as much as people who are mostly watching for it being an anime in general. No one liked the 2016 movie, and everything they took from the 2021 version has been done way worse here. And in both cases the "inspiration" just feels cheap
